Bloody Torture

Looks best in enlarged view
This is for those ppl in our lives, who we love, but for whatever reason, knowingly torture us, and continue to torture us, even tho they know they are hurting us, coz somehow they feel justified in doing so. Imagine these are some kind of torture devices, hot and sharp, or full of electrical current - like the thing that tortured Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back - or some kind of glass stakes you can impale someone on. I made this, to capture not only how i'm feeling tortured right now, but what i would like to do to the person who made me feel this way.  

Also, i know that, for many lonely, sad, depressed people, for many queer people, for many people who are estranged from their families, or worse, still see their families even tho they all hate each other, the holidays can be torture.  Emotional torture.  So, this work of art is for all of you too, for all of you who experience the heartsick emotional torture of the holidays.

Right now my life is a daily torment, a constant emotional torture, my heart hurts, and hurts, and hurts, everyday, i hurt, every minute of every day i hurt.  I am living an unbearable emotional torture, and if it doesn't end soon i will go mad with emotional pain, and i will do terrible things. Autumn can be a very emo time for me, as we descend into darkness. But i will rise up, and i will rip the "Kick Me" sign off my aura, and i will write a "If You Hurt Me I Will Cut You" sign, and tack that on in it's place.  I've learned in life, that if people can take advantage of your kindness, they will, if people can take advantage of your loneliness, they will.  I am not xstian, altho i used to be, and what i found out was, if you turn the other cheek, people will slap that cheek too, and any other cheek you offer for slapping.  I am a witch, and it's time i acted like one - screw with me and i will hex you. Be nice to me, and i will be the kindest, most supportive and loving friend, but if you betray me, stab me in the back, and break my heart to pieces, i will take the broken shards of my heart, and make them into shivs, and relieve my pain by spreading it around.  If Mama ain't happy, than no one's happy.
